Title: Nurturing Neglect

Erik Olson creates artwork that addresses the effects of consumerism and mass consumption. His work so perfectly illustrates our willingness to waste. Erik quilts together plastic waste that transcends the medium without denying what it is. The result embodies Marshall McLuhan’s concept “the medium is the message.”

While the medium is literally plastic shipping waste, the composition, intricate stitching, and bright colors combine to create exquisite results while also keeping this plastic from filling landfills.
